The San Francisco Dungeon, a tourist attraction where actors reenact the regions history, hosted a pop-up Rat Cafe for two days this summer, July 1 and 7.

Several dozen people have shelled out the money to attend one of two breakfast sessions in which they get to interact with approximately six to eight rats and have breakfast. The venue says more breakfasts may be planned at a future date.

Krissi Reeves, a spokeswoman for the Dungeon, said tickets for the July 1 and 8 events sold out in less than an hour.

The rats are provided by Rattie Ratz, a California non-profit that helps place pet rats in homes.

The Rat Cafe opens amid a booming cat cafe trend in parts of Asia and even the United States and Europe, in which visitors sip beverages surrounded by felines which are often available for adoption.
